I found the number in his coat The late-night calls he thought I’d never know Drove across town in the pouring rain Knocked on your door with fire in my veins You opened up like you already knew The look on your face said this was overdue I didn’t raise my voice, I didn’t need to scream I just walked in... and took a seat He’s not gonna run to you He’s not gonna run to you When the feeling’s right?...That feelin's 'bout to die He’s not gonna run to you You said “I never meant to take your place” I said “Funny, ‘cause that’s exactly what you did” We sat there quiet while the clock kept time Waiting for the man who thought he could hide Then the key turned in the lock downstairs His footsteps slowed when he saw us both there The color drained right out of his face No more secrets left in this place He’s not gonna run to you He’s not gonna run to you When the feeling’s right?...That feelin's 'bout to die He’s not gonna run to you [Bridge - lower, darker, more intense, almost spoken at first then building] You both thought the night would end like before Soft lights, soft lies, and a closing door But I showed up and the story changed Some things get settled when the truth walks in He’s not gonna run to you He’s not gonna run to you When the feeling’s right?...That feelin's 'bout to die He’s not gonna run to you You ain’t running to her no more... Not tonight... Not ever (Music and Lyrics by Jennifer Leigh Nelson © 2026 Cajora Creations, LLC. All rights reserved)
